Or would it be something entirely different?
I upgraded last year 2 months before my Gold renewal and ended up with the Platinum FREE Companion ticket. It will be worth the extra annual fee if I end up being able to use the certificate.
Unfortunately, I updated 2 DAYS after I hit the 25K threshold and missed the MQM bonus, but I ended up spending enough the rest of the year to qualify.
